French People & their Linkedin
Not trying to knock French people, but I find it annoying how majority of the French people I come across on Linkedin always write their page in French. This is the only group of people I've noticed who almost always write it in their native language. Like wtf are they trying to prove, too good to use English like everyone else on Linkedin?Thoughts?
Never noticed. I would imagine that it has something to do with the fact that they are always butthurt about being forever in 'Murica's shadow.
you are trying to knock french people. if america > france you hardly have anything to do with it shleprock. get over yourself.
Easy there Ben Affleck, it was just a joke.
thank you for getting the reference. didn't think anyone old enough to remember.
Who gives a shit
On en a juste rien a foutre...
The french are assholes
They do to this all the Time its just their way
Who cares? It's their account, it's up to them what audience they want to target.
wtf is wrong with these people gearing their job seeking efforts towards companies they wish to work for wtf
not sure why you're looking at so many French profiles in the first place, but it seems to be their prerogative anyways.
Unless you travel a lot to Europe, particularly for business or even for social events (black tie balls etc) but in France it seen as an insult if you don't speak French and people get offended by it.
To initiate a conversation with a native French person you should first apologise for not being able to speak the language and ask for their permission to continue the conversation in English. Whilst this varies depending on context, it is still something that persists to this day. The regard that the French have for their language might then be reflected in their stubbornness in using it on LinkedIn
This probably harks back to the days when the aristocracy of Europe used French as a common language and one's ability to speak it was an indication of social class. This is probably also the reason why it is the official language of the EU.
This is on point^ I don't know too many French people in the US, but when I was in Shanghai there was a large proportion of French living there, and they ALWAYS spoke French and only hung out with other French, they were not very welcoming of non-French. Just fueled the whole French people are rude stereotype.
Most French people, including professionals, have a really poor English. In many countries, an effort is made to teach the 'language of business' to the population. In France, there is actually a form of language protectionism (e.g. the Toubon Law).
Additionally, international studies and careers are not well-regarded in France. Basically, if you graduate from a top school in France, you spend your career in CAC 40 firms and/or the public sector.
Yeah the French are unique in that regard in Europe , they just stick with other french. Part of that maybe the fact that their English is just awful . During interviews in Europe if your interviewer is French and you are not it's usually game over if the interviewer is senior enough
This has become a major pet peeve of mine. I speak French most of the time with native French speakers because the fact is their English is lousy (or at least they think it is - and a lot of the time it is). But it really pisses me off when they give me shit about my French. My French is far from perfect, but at least I have the common courtesy to speak to you in your native tongue, so don't give me any shit about it.
The French are really starting to see the walls close in on them from a globalization standpoint, and rather than fix their shit they've decided to collectively circle the wagons and wait for the rest of the world to come around to their way of thinking. It ain't gonna be pretty over here when the wheels finally fall off.
French people are somehow nostalgic about a time (decades ago) when France was the third global power. They haven't really accepted the fact that the world has changed since. And rather than reforming their institutions, they blame their economic downfall on other countries: unfair labor competition from China, the strong euro policy of Germany, the low corporate tax rate in Ireland, the evil London bankers, etc.
The all powerful and central State is a French tradition that dates back from before Napoleon, and before the Revolution, so it won't go away easily...
This is exactely the root of the french problem.
Thank you, sir.
Imagine working in a French bank and having everyone speak French. Plus they don't shave and a lot have long hair. Come on, we're in America and you don't conform to customs? This is why you don't win deals.
In the spirit of the Enlightenment, France has also done a great deal to help people around the world emancipate themselves. Writting in french is like an honour for Diderot, Montesquieu, Voltaire or Rousseau.. Unfortunetely, a large number of monkeys don't know about their contributions

I haven't met a lot of French. But the ones I know are damn charming and good-looking, even in black suits.
